Inspired by 3 word wednesday: beacon, grieve, kindred.
The dawn breaks, spilling soft gray light
We’ve left Southampton’s hectic docks
And now sail under cliffs so white
The Needles' constant, steadfast rocks
The lighthouse shines at ocean’s side
A beacon casting out its beam
It flings its message far and wide
And sends me to follow my dream
But tell my kindred not to grieve
For though I journey far away
Deep in my heart I do believe
That I will return home one day
